I think you should be fine. Of course, try to be mindful of that, but 14 days from surgery, you should be well on your way to healing. The swelling is natural and will happen when you over do it. You figure, for 2 weeks you have not done any heavy lifting and all those muscles around your breast were reacting. If you saw no bleeding or anything like, I really think you are fine. Keep an eye on the area and if the swelling bothers you and/or any tenderness, do what I did; I would put a cold compress on the area for about 15-20 minutes at time. A bag of frozen peas works wonders as it conforms to your breast area.
Be careful and always listen to your body... good luck in your healing.
By the way, do you love your new girls? Are you happy you had the surgery?

Thanks for the reassurance and tips.
Good luck at your appt. tomorrow.
Stay in touch!

I know that the issue is pretty much resolved at this point, but I just want to add that if you are really concerned, let your doctor's office know that you want the doctor to see you. Although it was minor and resolved itself I don't think there is anything wrong with insisting, especially considering the cost of the surgery.
Stay in touch! How are the scars looking?
Nancy :)
They are soooooo much better, but just not as small as I'd hoped! Thanks for checking in!
Hi! I know I am late coming in here but I wanted to let you know the same thing happened to me.
I think I was about 2 weeks post op...maybe a little less. Without thinking I picked up my 3 year old and felt something in my left breast tear...it was not painful really but I could literally feel some internal stitches tear. I was freaked out but nothing came of it and I healed up just fine.
Hope you are feeling great by now!
